Looks good man, I'm envious of your build.
Cant wait to see when every thing is up and running. Cant wait to see benchies also.
This kind of beats my Q9400 - 4870 build, sigh. It looks really good, though. Keep up the good work.
Just out of interest, how much will this entire project cost?
Around £3000
[QUOTE=apwd007;14175547]Around £3000[/QUOTE] Jesus christ, that's like $4200...
[QUOTE=Pandamobile;14175639]Jesus christ, that's like $4200...[/QUOTE] Considering that he is using top-of-the-line hardware, watercooling [I]and[/I] a custom case the price sounds about right. Don't forget, the costs involved aren't really accurate if you do a direct exchange rate conversion. Many of those parts are significantly cheaper in the USA. I'd guess that it would cost about $3000 over here for a similar setup. It is no different than splurging on an expensive car or home. Neither will get you to work any faster or live much more comfortably, but we tend to spend more on things we are interested in. We all have our vice.

Only £3k? It looks like it's worth a lot more to me so far!
More or less 3500$ with taxes and such. Mostly due to those 2 295's which around about 550$ each.

[QUOTE=meppers;14200397]OP should have purchased a cpu block with one in port and two out ports. one out port goes to the mobo, the other out port goes to the gpu cards. better cooling that way.[/QUOTE] I'm using two seperate loops, so no.
As the doormen / guards in Far Cry 2 says " Hey! Hand over the hardware! " Lols that you have created is a BEAST!
Sweet jesus. That thing will be able to run goddam NASA.
[QUOTE=meppers;14200397]OP should have purchased a cpu block with one in port and two out ports. one out port goes to the mobo, the other out port goes to the gpu cards. better cooling that way.[/QUOTE] wouldn't you have a high pressure and low pressure zone then?
[QUOTE=Occlusion;14206844]Sweet jesus. That thing will be able to run goddam NASA.[/QUOTE] Maybe their security cameras.
